A practical exposition on the 130th Psalm

Hierom renders these words, utsis terribilis; that thou mayest be dreadful or terrible, doubtless not according to the intendment of the place. It is for the relieving of the soul, and not for the increasing of its dread and terror, that this observation is made; there is forgiveness with thee.

Hierom renders these words, utsis terribilis; that thou maist be dreadful or terrible, doubtless not according to the intendment of the place. It is for the relieving of the soul, and not for the increasing of its dread and terror, that this observation is made; there is forgiveness with thee.

But the words are clear, and their sense is obvious; [Greek or Hebrew] therefore thou shalt be feared, or that thou mayest be feared.

But the words are clear, and their sense is obvious; 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 therefore thou shalt be feared, or that thou maist be feared.

By the Fear of the Lord, in the Old Testament, the whole ⟨p. 74⟩Worship of God, moral and instituted, all the Obedience which we owe unto him, both for matter and manner, is intended. Whatever we are to perform unto God, being to be carried on and performed with Reverence and godly fear, by a Metonymy of the Adjunct, that name is given to the whole. That thou mayst be feared, then, is that thou mayest be served, worshipped; that I who am ready to faint and give over on the account of sin, may yet be encouraged unto, and yet continue in that Obedience which thou requirest at my hands; And this appears to be the sense of the whole Verse; as influenced by, and from those foregoing.
